As Idle No More prepares for its next day of action on January 28, Indigenous activists and thinkers took time to reflect on the grassroots movement tonight as part of a Vancouver panel, “Idle? Know More.”

It explored “Indigenous rights and self-determination, a legacy of struggle against colonialism, and the Idle No More movement.”

The Left Coast Post spoke earlier with one of the panellists, Glen Coulthard — an assistant professor of First Nations Studies and Political Science at UBC.
